No knowledge of sheet music is necessary here. You’ll learn to read guitar chord symbols and follow the basics of sheet music. One step at a time, your technique and knowledge will grow together.

What’s Inside

Electric Guitar for Adults – Book 1 is for the absolute beginner, covering your first steps like playing standard open-string chords (G, C, D, A and E Major, as well as A and E Minor). Then you’ll combine those chords with basic rhythms in the exercises. When you’re ready, play your first whole songs with those same chords and rhythms. Also, learn to set up your amp, dial in its EQ and get the best sound. In the same chapter, we de-mystify common effects pedals, explaining their use and how to combine them if you’d like to use an effects pedal chain.
